Where will squirrels nest
Squirrels are known to nest in any corner of the home, but they are likely to prefer areas such as lofts, roof spaces, deckings, chimneys and sheds. These are just guidelines. As mentioned, they can nest anywhere.
A drey is a squirrel home. It is usually a small, round, and 
sturdy structure made out of twigs and leaves. Some of these nests can be as large as 2 feet, and some dreys may take weeks to build. While most dreys are built in trees, they can also be found on the ground or even inside buildings such as attics or barns. They usually house one squirrel, but there have been cases where 2 To 3 squirrels occupy the same drey.
Colour variation for grey squirrels
Grey squirrels can have either a red or grey body with white markings on their heads and tails. In addition, they have large ears and eyes, seven teeth per jaw, and measure up to 21 inches long, not including their 8-inch tail. Females typically weigh about 1 pound more than males do, but both sexes grow to be the same size.
Squirrels can carry many diseases, some of which are transmissible to humans. These include:
-Squirrel pox
-Leptospirosis
-Salmonellosis
-Cryptosporidiosis
-Tularemia
In addition, squirrels can contaminate food sources with their droppings, which can contain the bacteria that cause these diseases.
